The Civil Defence (The White Helmets) won the World Leadership Award in the category of "Civil Service Command" after the World Administration held its third session in the Mauritanian state of Mauritius Wednesday afternoon.

That is another award to be added to the tremendous achievements made by the Syrian Civil Defence, and an ambitious accolade for the volunteers and workers of the relief teams, increasing and strengthening their determination and commitment to providing all they have in order to alleviate the suffering of war-torn Syria.

The Civil Defence have won several international awards, the last of which was the Belgian "Iber" on 14 November 2017.
